Sharma, G. D., Tiwari, A. K., Erkut, B., & Mundi, H. S. (2021). Exploring the nexus between
non-renewable and renewable energy consumptions and Economic Development: Evidence from panel
estimations. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 146, 111152. doi:10.1016/j.rser.2021.111152

In this study the relationship between economic development and the energy-growth nexus was
analysed for 27 European Union countries. Furthermore, the study focused on analysing data for
sustainability indicators such as the human development index, financial development index, urban
population, renewable energy consumption, non-renewable energy consumption, ecological footprints,
carbon emissions, and economic growth indicator. The results demonstrated a two-way negative
relationship between economic growth, and renewable energy and more surprisingly a two-way positive
relationship between economic growth and non-renewable energy. Moreover, the study suggests that
economic growth is positively impacted by ecological footprint, non-renewable energy consumption,
and carbon emissions. While the opposite holds true as an increase in renewable energy consumption
resulted in a decrease in economic growth. This particular study is useful as it demonstrated that
while in the long-term renewable energy is bound to positively impact the economic growth in EU
countries, it is not quite the case in the short-term.

Saeidi, P., Saeidi, S. P., Sofian, S., Saeidi, S. P., Nilashi, M., & Mardani, A. (2019). The impact
of enterprise risk management on competitive advantage by moderating role of Information
Technology. Computer Standards & Interfaces, 63, 67-82. doi:10.1016/j.csi.2018.11.009

They study compared the effectiveness of the Enterprise Risk Management [ERM] on competitive
advantage including Information Technology (IT) strategy and Information Technology structure
throughout surveys at the Iranian financial institutions. The study's conclusions showed a
connection between ERM and the enterprises' competitive advantage. The findings also indicated that
IT strategy and IT structure had a direct impact on competitive advantage as well as a moderating
impact on the relationship between ERM and competitive advantage. The value of ERM implementation
within firms, which may enhance competitive advantage, is discussed in this study. This study also
suggests that managers should think about IT as one of the key success elements for ERM procedures
when planning and making decisions. In my opinion the study is useful because risk taking plays a
vital role in any firm and studying it have a big percentage to prevent you from taking big losses
your company or firm.

Al‐Thaqeb, S. A., Algharabali, B. G., & Alabdulghafour, K. T. (2020). The pandemic and economic
policy uncertainty. International Journal of Finance & Economics, 27(3), 2784-2794.
doi:10.1002/ijfe.2298

After Covid-19 happened there was a lot of economic changes in all the countries in the world and
as we know some countries chose economic policy to try and solve that, and how uncertain economic
polies [EPU] could be. This research is on the detrimental consequences of the economic policy
uncertainty index on people, businesses, governments, and economies at the local as well as global
levels is reviewed in this essay. This shows that a high EPU is linked to negative effects on
households, businesses, and governments because people tend to put off having to make many
financial decisions when there is a lot of uncertainty, which reduces consumption, decreases the
issuance of debt, decreases investment, and increases unemployment. But in my opinion economic
policy is not always uncertain because there is other countries that got better results with it.
